"Finesse, elegance, mellowness. Balance, aromatic intensity on notes of dried fruit, gingerbread, red apricot, tender sweetness in balance with restrained acidity, rancio finish... Pure pleasure, after a most promising welcome on notes of dried apricot, leather, toast, and above all rancio, with walnut kernel." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2015)

A golden-brown color, edged with olive highlights, cloudy. The wine is unfiltered, so any cloudiness or slight deposit is natural.
Nose
Intense and complex, it develops astonishing scents of candied fruits and nuts, underlined by a hint of rancio.
Mouth
Rich and generous, well-balanced, the finish lingers on the notes of the nose.
